About The Role
The role
Adamson Jones has an outstanding opportunity for a qualified trade mark attorney not yet at partnership level to join our growing trade mark team at one of our offices around the United Kingdom.

Since then, Gateley have acquired a number of professional services businesses and legal practices, which offer clients a full and varied range of complementary business services. It is within this progressive culture at Gateley that Adamson Jones is growing and expanding its reach though other Gateley offices.
Our clients include a range of small start-ups and established private companies to large corporations, as well as overseas firms based across the world. The majority of our work is for UK-based clients across a wide range of commercial sectors and involves work across all areas of trade mark attorney practice including conducting clearance searches, drafting and filing trade mark applications throughout the world, managing watching services and advising clients about potential conflicts, and handling oppositions and cancellation proceedings and associated settlement negotiations.

We are committed to excellence in our work and we have a strong team ethos, with everyone at Adamson Jones and Gateley committed to working together to achieve the best for our clients.
